How the score is calculated

SciRank Scoring System

The SciRank Score is based on the SciRank System, our unique scoring metric tailored to focus evaluation on vendor attributes most important to sponsors. This user-generated score is based on evaluation of: team expertise and experience, manufacturing/research, analytical and validation capabilities, and key elements of quality, cost, raw materials and transparency.

Each attribute is factored into the final weighted score (1 - 10 scale) and converted into one of three ratings to equip our users with insights to make informed decisions: A (6.0 - 7.5), AA (7.6 - 8.9), AAA (9.0 - 10.0). If a company receives a BB rating it falls Below our Benchmark, meaning the company’s scores are not sufficiently high to qualify it for a standard rating or we don’t have appropriate data to provide a standard rating.

Here are all factors and corresponding scoring weights used in the SciRank System:
